VCs who want to meet new potential partners either to raise a new fund, or to network for future fundraising. At the same time you can scout myriad startup technologies at pre-seed and seed level both in the expo and via the dedicated Pitch Deck stage.

Startup support organisations – anyone whose business is connecting with space tech startups, or who could sell their services to the space startup community. This includes regional development organisations, incubators, accelerators, institutions seeking to leverage startup technologies, and  service providers space based technologies, marketing, recruitment, legal services, etc.

Networking with potential investment partners is never a useless activity. Your latest fund might be closed but research shows that 50% of LPs track funds for 1-2 years before committing to an investment, and 30% say it takes more than 2 years. Exhibiting at Launchpad Expo and getting on the radar of LPs is a great way to set you up for successful fundraising in the future.

Not if you want to connect with the investors and startups in the room. You would find yourself in a crowd of hundreds without any way of connecting with them aside from random conversations you might be lucky enough to initiate. Exhibitors have the ability to attract targets to their stand, and to make meetings with investors (which take place on their stands). Your exhibition stand IS your meeting room, and the bigger your stand the more potential meetings you can operate

.

Investors are incentivized to make meetings with funds via a reward scheme for meetings completed.

There will be many investors and startups walking around in the Expo hall and this show is designed for you to meet both. You can make scheduled meetings with investors via the event meetings platform (you will receive access after signing up). These meetings take place on your booth, but you will also be available to meet visitors that just stop by – investors and startups can be distinguished by the different colours on their visitor badge allowing you to quickly assess whom to invite into the stand space for further discussion. As event organisers we ask that the minimum provision you make for startups is to offer a facility or directions for them to give you their pitch deck – this could range from information about where to send it, to dedicated scouts to assess their proposals.
